PHP Games

chelcy
I was wondering (and also wanted to ask the PHP experts, since I'm not dry.gif ) about those PHP games, the turn-based strategy games like Kings of Chaos, Dark Throne, etc...

Is there a set of code or better yet a tutorial that tells how to create PHP games, or you just have to learn PHP and utilize what you learn?

I'm afraid it might be the second one... unsure.gif

Dosn't it mean the same?

No matter what, beofre you can make a PHP game, you have to be familiar with PHP whatso ever. If you are talking about a piece of code, isn't that copying?

No matter what, you'll need to know PHP.

What do you want to do with PHP? Do you want to allow people to play against each other? If that's the case, you'd probably have to use sessions or cookies, but that's all the advice I can give you. I'm not an expert on PHP by any means.

PHP wouldn't be good for making games unless you wanted a turn-based online game or something similar. Flash seems to be popular if you don't need a very sophisticated game that you want to distribute on the web (also gets around the concern of virii being hidden in .exe files). You might also want to look into Java applets.

PHP isn't the only language you need to know.
You also need to know a big chunk of javascript so you can execute Ajax scripts.

If you ask me, I'll suggest you use java. It'll run the same way on every operating system and it's compatible. You can also use SSL (correct me if I'm wrong). I've seen pretty nice turn-based games done by it like billiard, tank war thingy, and some others. I'm going to learn java after I'm done with javascript and php. We are going to learn it in school and I want to learn it before that so I can score an A again! tongue.gif

Anyway, if you want to use PHP for making a game, it's going to be complicated. What I would do is use loops to find out which action has to be executed and then execute that action(displaying it with ajax of course). You could also use switch, but I've never really liked switch.. sad.gif

Well normally you can design how the game will be like and depending on it will be how others will be able to interact with it. I don't think there is only a one way in creating a game for php, its more of your own creativity and the controls available. But i'm sure php isn't for making games as in graphical games but more text based games like neopets. So along with the PHP you may have to learn some SQL as well. Since you would want your players information stored somewhere. Just trying learning the basics first then continue onward.

You should probably start with W3Schools:

I myself have just started learning some php, it will take time to learn a lot of these things but its nice to start and take your time. Make sure you understand things and not skip over things you do not understand else you will never learn. :3

You don't need to buy anything to use java. And flash IS compatible with linux!
